Proceeding contribution from Lord Walton of Detchant (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Transfer of Tribunal Functions Order 2008.
Transfer of Tribunal Functions Order 2008
My Lords, I have one short question for the Minister. Many years ago I served from time to time as a medical member of medical appeal tribunals on appeals against decisions of the Ministry of National Insurance relating to injury in the course of employment. Also from time to time I served as a medical member of the Pensions Appeal Tribunal, which dealt not only with compensation for injuries suffered in service, but also dealt specifically with disease or illness either beginning in or attributed to service. The title of the new Armed Forces compensation chamber suggests that it is likely to be dealing with compensation. Will the Minister clarify whether pension appeals regarding disease or illness beginning during service or attributed to service will be in the authority of the new Armed Forces compensation chamber?
